Application Submission Deadline: 5 May 2012

The department of History, Archaeology and Area Studies at the University of Amsterdam (UvA) has a vacancy for a Professor of Early Modern History.

The initial appointment will be on a temporary basis for a period of no more than two years. Subject to satisfactory performance, this will be followed by a permanent appointment. The gross salary will normally conform to professorial scale 2 (between €4,904 and €7,142 gross per month on a full-time basis in accordance with the Collective Labour Agreement for the Dutch universities (Collectieve Arbeidsovereenkomst Nederlandse Universiteiten, or CAO NU)). In certain cases, however, different terms of employment may be offered.

In keeping with University policy, candidates should have at least three years academic work experience at a university or research institute other than the UvA, preferably abroad.

The chair in Early Modern History covers teaching and research for the entire field of this period (approx. 1450-1800).

Teaching is mainly centred around Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes (for the curriculum, please see the UvA’s digital course catalogue: www.studiegids.uva.nl). The Faculty’s BA programmes are taught within the College of Humanities, while MA and doctorate programmes are administered within the Graduate School for Humanities.

Research will be carried out at the Institute of Culture and History (ICG).
